      They already did while ago. Pentax K-x uses Sony sensor – and it end up very well of them. Currently K-x has highest DxO Mark of all Pentax DSLRs!

      Sony already make sensors that big and Pentax have the mount, register distance and lenses to support the larger sensor…. Its crazy not to make such a camera.

      (personally I would have prefered Kodak sensors, but you cant have everything)
